CARL FRANKLIN HANABLE, OF NEGLEY, OHIO, ASSIGNOR OI ONE-HALF TO JOSEPH K. BISHOP, OF BEAVER FALLS, PENNSYLVANIA.

SMOKING-PIPE.

Application filed July 20,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL F. HANABLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Negley, in the county of Golumbiana and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Smoking-Pipe, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to tobacco pipes.

The object is to provide means for cooling the tobacco smoke passing from the bowl of the pipe through the stem thereof before the same reaches the mouth of the smoker, and at the same time trapping the nicotin coming from the burning tobacco thereby preventing the same from reaching the mouth of the smoker, the said means having the further advantage of preventing saliva from the mouth from passing through the stem and finding lodgment in the bottom of the said bowl.

A further object is to provide means for accomplishing such purposes which adds but little to the weight of the pipe, being made from very thin gage metal, and which may be manufactured at a low cost and readily applied to any tobacco ipe having the common form of round stem terminating in the usual bit, such style of pipe being in common'use.

Another object is to embody such means in the form of an attachment which may be easily removed from between the stem and the bit of the pipe for the purpose of emptying and cleansing the same, and may be as easily placed in position again, requiring no nicety of adjustment, or special care in assembling the several parts.

A full and complete understanding of the (invention may be obtained from a consideration of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, with the understanding however, that the invention is not confined to any. strict con formity with the showing of the drawing,

4 but may be changed and modified, so long as such changes and modifications mark no material departure from the salient features of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.-

In the drawing, in which similar ref erence characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several figures:

form of tobacco pipe having the improvements applied thereto;

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same;

Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail sectional view, taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2;

Fig.4 is an enlarged detail view, partly in section, of one of the members of the device;

Fig. 5 is a detail side elevation of a modified form of easing;

Fig. 6 is an enlarged transverse sectional view of the same.

Referring to the. drawing, there is illustrated a pipe bowl 1 which may be of any of the well-known forms, having the tubular stem 2 extending from the bottom thereof and preferably at right angles to the same so that the said stem, when in use, may be horizontally disposed.

The stem 2 is somewhat shorter than the usual stem and has its free end slightly reduced around the outer periphery for the reception of one of the reduced ends 3 of a cylindrical casing or chamber 4, which is. formed of" thin sheet metal, of some noncorrosive kind, and which is somewhat greater in diameter than the diameter of the said stem, the reduced ends 3 thereof being joined to the main body portion by conical walls 5, which render the interior of the cleaned when desired.

Introduced intothe reduced end 3 of the casing remote from the pipe bowl 1, is a short length of stem 6 of the same diameter as the stem 2, and having its outer end counterbored and threaded for the reception of the reduced shank 7 of the bit 8, which may be of any desired form or material.

Between the opposed ends of the conical portions of the casing, the cylindrical wall of the chamber 4 is formed into a series of slanting, outwardly-pressed corrugations 10 extendingthroughout the length of the wall 4L, and serving to increase the interior surface of the same to cause the smoke passing through the casin to become thoroughly cooled before reaching the bit 8 and passing into'the mouth of the smoker. to cooling the smoke, the corrugations of the casing 4 also act as channels to catch and trap any nicotin which may pass through the stem 2, and to hold the same casing or chamber more easily emptied and In addition accumulated. In order to prevent such aocu-.

therein until a considerable quantity has mulation, in the event it should rise to a level with the alined passages in the stems 2 and 6, from passing through or being sucked into the mouth of the smoker, a pair of similarly shaped tubes 9 are introduced into .the bores of the said stems and extend into the chamber 4 and have their inner opposed ends returned upon themselves, as at 10, so that their outlets are directed away from each other and are located adjacent to the top of the casing, when the same is held in horizontal position, as when in use. The tubes 9 are frictionally held in alined position with the returned portions uppermost, by suitably counterboring the opposed ends of the bores in the stems 2 and 6 and forcing the tubes therein, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawing.

The smoke coming from the bowl 1 and passing through the stem 2 is forced by the adjacent tube 9 to take a forward movement through the bend 10 and strike the front conical wall 5 and be scattered throughout the chamber 4, when it is drawn backwardly,

by the suction on the bit 8, passing along the several longitudinal corrugations 10* in the tubular casing 4 and is thoroughly cooled when condensation takes place and the nicotin is removed therefrom, the nicotin adhering to the walls of the chamber and may accumulate therein but is prevented from passing to the mouth of the smoker by reason of the only outlets being through the return bends 10 which are at the top of said casing. For the same reason, saliva from the mouth of the smoker is prevented from reaching the bowl of the pipe, what little if any of the latter reaching the chamber 4 being effectually trap ed therein along with the nicotin and may e readily removed from the chamber by detaching the same from its frictional connections with the stems 2 and 6, the tubes 9 being slipped from their positions within the bores of said stems for the purpose.

A slightly modified form of casing or chamber 4 is illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6, wherein,

the deposit of. the nicotin in like manner to the corrugations 11 are circular in form and extend around the tubularwall of' foregoing it will be seen that'a simple, cheaply manufactured and effective means have been provided in the form of an attachment to be used in connection with ordinary formed pipes which will cause the smoke to be thoroughly cooled before reaching the mouth, extracting the nicotin there-,

from and preventing the saturation of the bowl of the pipe by the saliva from the mouth.

What is claimed is 1. A tobacco pipe comprising a bowl having a stem composed of spaced sections arranged in longitudinal alinement, a substantially cylindrical casing forming a chamber fitted to the opposed ends of the stem sections, said casing being provided with corrugations to increase its exterior surface and form interior channels, and longitudinal tubes fitted into the bores of the opposed stem sections and having their inner ends bent laterally in opposite directions,

and a bit carried by one of the stem sections.

2. A tobacco pipe comprising a bowl having a stem composed of spaced sections arranged in longitudinal alinement, a substantially cylindrical casing forming a chamber and fitted to the opposed ends of the stem sections, said casing having conical end walls and provided with corrugations between said walls to increase its interior surface and its exterior surface for radiating heat, longitudinally disposed alined tubes fitted into the bores of the opposed stem sections and extending toward each other within the said chamber, said tubes having their inner ends bent upwardly and outwardly away from each other and adapted to lie adjacent the upper wall of the casing and opening toward the ends thereof, and a bit fitted to the outer end of that stem section remote from the pipe bowl.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature.
